Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have proven to be a powerful and enduring graphically-oriented framework for modelling and performance analysis of complex systems. This tutorial focu...
Determining the position of breaks in a sentence is a key task for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. We describe some methods for phrase break prediction in which the whole sentence ...
A major development in qualitative model checking was the jump to verifying properties of source code directly, rather than requiring a separately specified model. We describe an...
The paper presents a method to compute performance metrics (response time, sojourn time, throughput) on Unified Modeling Language design. The method starts with UML design annota...
This paper describes a simulation tool for the analysis of complex jobs described in the form of task graphs. The simulation procedure relies on the PN-based topological represent...
